Hi, I have had a female age approx. 3 years old (willow) since July 2012 and she is doing great . I have a friend who lives in FL and has offered to give me her male who is less then a year old if I pay to get him to me in KY , I do not want to breed them , just to have them as pets in different ca...

Hi, I think he feels cornered when he is in his cage ,when he is out I think he feels like he can escape quicker, JMO, I cant mess with Willows toys or perches if she is inside but as long as she is on top I can do what I want. I would find something he really likes and start trying to get him to t...

Hi, Willow does it every time I talk to her . I didn't know when I got her I was and not allowed when touching her . I would just pet her head ,cheeks, neck she will not let you touch her feet. so I try and just pet her head and cheeks. I don't know what else to do either so far she doesn't lash ou...

Hi, I got my IRN Willow in July , I could not touch her at all I could feed her through the bars ,getting her out of her cage the first day was scary because she was 2 1/2 and her bite hurt but I was finally able to teach her with hand and voice what I wanted her to do , I took my time ate by her c...

Hi , well I did take sandpaper and roughed up the shinny outside, it has helped she doesn't spend as much time down at the bottom looking up , I also got a male Cockatiel once the clean bill of health was given by a vet ,I finally put them in the same room. she just stares or plays now she doesn't ...

Hi, Willow spends hours at the bottom of her cage just looking up at herself and hitting the cup she just started this a month ago, at first she would just stare now she is getting angry and it puts her in a bad mood . Any ideas on what to do? the cage I have has the metal cups ,I am going to see i...

Hi , what do you do when your IRN spends it's day when your not right there , looking at herself in her food bowl? I took out a bell that was in there because she constantly seemed angry and would attack it now she spends her day near the bottom of the cage looking up at her reflection .. she had n...

Hi, well I got some very devastating news last night my sister has breast cancer that has spread so being a migraine suffer I woke up with a bad one today , I got my son to school and was so sick I left her cover for a couple of hours longer then I usually do and I was notable to play with her, so ...

Her reaction to willow is the least of her issues , she doesn't seem to mind it as much lately ,because willow has gotten so much better about it. the worst is me leaving her . I have been asking around about the thunder shirt and might finally give it a try . I have tried everything else I can thi...

Hi , I'm sorry I didn't explain better, my boxer and adult 5 year old has sever separation anxiety, I have tried medications, kennels leaving her loose in my sons room , since we lost our other older Boxer to cancer she has just gotten worse , so I got a 5 month old male boxer as a companion she lo...

I would like to get a male IRN one day . but I have a 5 year old boxer who is afraid of everything. thunder, fire works , Willows screaming, and the biggest one she has sever separation anxiety ,I adopted her from a rescu...

He is just BEAUTIFUL , I almost got one before I got Willow , but I really did a lot of reading and decided as much as I wanted one I decided on a smaller bird , the one I was going to get only liked the woman who owned her and I have an 11 year old and 2 boxers so maybe if the right one comes arou...

Thank you all for you sweet comments , she is such a sweet bird ,I cant wait until her wings grow back out ,the young lady I got her from had them clipped and he cut all the long feathers on 1 wing and the other one is pitiful ,when she tries to fly she drops to the ground , so she now no longer fl...

Thanks , I really appreciate you for asking about the lead , I remember when I was about 11- 12 now I am 54 I was riding the bus and this boy stuck his pencil in to the side of my calf and the pencil lead broke off .. I was thinking just great I'm goanna die from lead poisoning .. :o until my mom s...

Hi This is what I finally found about the lead, and I only use Graphite. Anyway Thanks for giving me a response . Brenda No, they are made of graphite. They have never been made of lead, meaning lead the metal. The two things have nothing in common. Pencils in art stores are not made out of lead, a...

Thanks , I will try that next time, I am new to cooking for them, It has just been a long time since I have had birds ..
